It might come out at the end of November. Polyphony never said it would be coming out in December. They said it would be out for the holiday. So it still might get released in November. I don't think it's going to make much different. When it's released the PS3 will get a decent surge of PS3 sold for a week or two and then it'll be over. Sony really needed The Last Guardian, Killzone 3 and maybe on other exclusive to live the PS3 into the stratosphere. I don't think GT5 can do it alone. We'll see though.

Right around Black Friday would be very smart.

That'd be suicide. Way too many other deals going on. GT5 would be overshadowed by other things.
On another note, even if the boost comes later on, that just means the PS3 is going to be down YOY for a few more weeks extra as well so the boost won't really be any bigger/smaller over all. The PS3 is still going to be far short of their 15 million estimate.

What makes you say that? Other than DK Returns there's no other major games releasing that week. You think GT5 wouldn't be included in those deals? Need I remind you of last Black Friday?

It doesn't matter about what else is releasing. There are so many other deals accross the board that people are less likely to buy GT5 launch week if it launched that week than other weeks. When people have a limited amount to spend on deals for every category (not just video games) and then a game gets added to that, some people are obviously going to hold out for a later time.
Also, those were PS3 Slim with $100 price cut boosted results, not standard PS3 black friday results.
